KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Lee Westwood couldn't emulate his second-round 62 but did enough Saturday to stay in contention at the Maybank Championship after shooting a 70 to trail the leaders by three strokes.

The Englishman managed only three birdies in comparison to his mammoth 11 on Friday.

Jorge Campillo of Spain and Dylan Frittelli of South Africa are the joint leaders after both shot 66s at Saujana Golf and Country Club for 15 under overall at the European Tour event.

"I had a few tough holes, but I managed to make the putts, so overall I played solid," Campillo said.

It was a day of low scores, with six golfers — including Campillo — making eagle on the par-5 first hole.

With 18 golfers separated by only three shots at the top, competition will be rife on Sunday.

Khalin Joshi of India and Berry Henson of the United States trail the leaders by one shot after matching 65s. Henson is a self-proclaimed "Mr. Sunday" after shooting 65 and 64 at the Singapore Open and Myanmar Open, respectively, and will be out for another low score.
